JOHN SWINTON'S PAPER.

The announcement made by John
Swinton that the publication of his
Paper would be brought to close
on the 2lst inst. has created u feel
ing of distress among those who were
fortunate enough to have acqaint-
ance with it. He says he has sunk
tens of thousands of dollars in the
venture, aud the income. therefore,
from subscriptions and the few adj
ycrtjsemcnts he admitted, was far
below the cost of the publication.
While Mr. Swinton was sinking
his money he was dealing telling
blows at the system of spoliatiOn, and
the good work of his Paper will not
end with its suspension. Those who

The same men who opposed the
organization of the Labor Party in
New York and who were defeated in
their opposition, are now opposing
the Socialists in that Party-the
very ones whose voices were raised
and whose votes were cast for indie
pendent political action in the con-
yention that gave the new Party
birth.

THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT.

Since the st. Louis G. A. K. Incl
dent, the Hessian Press has had
much to say about the respect due
to that plainly meaning the
"King-in-a-Dress- Coat feature of
the office:
Most people would have respect
for that office if it were elective by q
direct vote Of the people; and more
people would have mare respect for
it If 1t did not exist at all--if that
last prototype Of royalty were swept
out Of our system.
Few can have much respect for
either the Office or the officer when
at each election the result is shroud-
ed in a fog of fraud, corruption, in
timidatiOn and consequent uncer-
tainty as to the real result Of the
election. Toadying to royalty is not
American. 1t is disgusting,
The efforts Of souless monopolists
and venal politicians to galvanlze a
mock respect for an Office or an Off
Ger whose sole labors are for their
advantage, are chaify.
The fact is that any honest, sober
citizen who does an honest days
labor in the most humble calling, is
entitled to as much respect and hon
or as any president can be.-and we
hope that the day has come near to
us, when the highest respect and
honor shall be truly paid to the noble
men and women who produce the
wealth of this land; that officers
shall be regarded solely as SERVANTS
Of the people, and only be respected
and honored as they shall discharge
their duty to the whole people, and
that they shall be branded as knayes
and recreants whenever their minis
tratons shall be in the interest of
one class as against other classes, es-
pecially if the one class shall be the
idle, robber class. -,j0bN SWtRfoAS.

The Hartford Examiner charges
John Swlnton with egotism and envy.
His cgotsm is Of the kind that Vic
Hugo so charmingly displayed, and
as to envy, what had he to envy?
John Swinton simply had n better
means of knowing the character of
some men than many others. If
John Swinton had such great regard
for himself he never would have
| launched forth .I0hR .NWiAt0H'S Paper;
! he never would have bravcd the
militia and police on Tompkins
Square; nor would he have exchanged
II life of comparative ease and the
admiration of brainy men for the
snaring and fault-iinding of those
who could not comprehend him.
We have not always agreed with
John Swinton's published opinions.
but often as not we were at fault
ourselves. John Swinton uttered
some warnings, and the day will soon
arrive when those warnings will be
remembered. In regard to the lat
ter, the only fault we can find with
the "old man" is that he did not
fully expose certain rascals, out of
regard for their feelings or fear OF
probable harm to the movement, OF
the fear of being accused of mischief
making without a hearing, or all
three combined. And a misfortune
| it was that he chose or was compelled
to mix so little with the hundreds Of
! tried and true men IN New York
who always admired him, felt CRATE.

lime, 2.oo, =. o42, 80, 2.37.
The $50 class showed some trotting
of spirited nature. Much interest
was manifested in the performance Of
mill Girl, VIM. Weeks horse of this
city. The race was the maiden one
for the six year old mare and she
showed that she had good speed
and much endurance. Unfortunately
for her in the second inning she got
the bit through her mouth and threw
herself on the bank, fortunately not
injuring herself or her driver.
Mr. Weeks ordered his horse off the
track much to the dissatisfaction of
his friends who believed that the
! animal would make a fine showing.
Notwithstanding very poor start
mill Girl" made third place easily.
The first heat was most exciting.
Kate" took the lead and kept it
until the home stretch was reached
and then Fox, the driver of Peter F.
brought him first under the wire under
lively lashing.
The PAGER was too hot for him how
ever and he had to succumb to Kate, :
who took first place and money The
result of the race in full was as follows

MUSICAL AND LITERARY
The Central M. E. Church So
ciety's Meeting.

The last meeting of the season of the
Musical ana Literary Society of the
Central NJ. f. Church was held in the
parlors of Mr.. Samuel Bassett's resi-
dence, on Bank street. The rooms
early in the evening were filled with
members and friends of the society,
who had gathered to hear another of
those pleasing programs arranged for
the meeting.
1t was about half-past eight o'clock
when the Vice President, Miss Hattie
Applegate, announced the opening of
the exercises by the entire assemblage
singing Jesus Lover of My SOUL to
the tune of ''Music in the Air The
program proper commenced by Miss
Ada Scull performing a brilliant piano
solo. Mrs. Winfield Hunt then fol-
lowed with reading entitled Three
Evenings in Life" The deserved
applause which followed was given in
hearty manner. A beautiful quar-
tette entitled Raise me, Jesus. to thy
Bosom" by Mrs. A. F. Loper, Miss
Mamie Allen, Messrs. VIM. J. Nc
Cowan and Elwood Garrison, was
finely rendered. The singers refused
to respond with an encore, though it
was called for by the audience An
excellently written biography of
Charles Dickens, by Miss Ella Cox,
was then listened to, followed by
Well rendered piano solo by Miss
Nettie Bowen. w. J. MCGOWAN read
the famous trial for breach of promise
in the works of Charles Dickens. Mrs.
A. F. Loper sang a sweet soprano solo
DO not Forget Me- and was the
recipient of hearty applause. Miss
Tillie Leeds followed with soprano
solo, accompanied on the piano by her
sister, Miss Veronica Leeds, and then
w. A. Shull and Jesse Garrison per-
formed a violin duet. Mrs. A. T. Lo-
per and w. j. MCGOWAN sang a duet
entitled Come A vocal selection
was then given by Misses Viola and
Adele Bassett, Ella Cox and Jennie
Applegate. The program was then
brought to close by an exceedingly
we'll performed solo on the harmonica.
by Daniel Daley, accompanied on the
piano by Miss Belle Daley. He gave
as his encore whistling solo, which
was heartily applauded.
The society is in most fiourishing Cir
cumstances and is an important fea-
ture of the church. All the members
take great interest in the society and
has followed the organization.

The G. M. Peace Circle.

A number of ladies of Port Norris
organized on the night of June Goth as
the &c. M. Peace Circle, No. Is, Grand
Army of the Republic Judging from
the interest taken, it will no doubt be
a success, as the ladies are ready and
willing to do all in their power to
further the good cause. In war times
they were efficient aids, and since the
organization of the Post they have
been still more closely allied to the
boys who fought the country's battles.
The following department officers
| were present at the organization
Mrs. L. H. Pasco, Department Presi-
dent; Mrs. Sheldon, Dept. S. V. P;
Mrs. d. j. Bateman, Dept. Chaplain.
Several sisters were also present from
Vineland, Millville and Cedarville Cir
cles. After the institution of the Circle,
officers were chosen for the balance Of
the term as follows:-Mrs. L. A. An
drews, Pres; Mrs. j. Mcconnell, s. "
P; Mrs. Archie Campbell, j. V. P.S
Mrs. G. Bacon, Conductress; Mrs. j..
G. Garrison, Secretary; Mrs. G. M
Peace, Treasurer; Mrs. w. Robbins.
Guard; Mrs. G. G. Andrews, Mrs. An
drew Vail, Mrs. J. e. Garrison, Ad-
visory Council. The officers elected
were publicly installed, after which
the Circle resolved itself into a camp
fire, during which the comrades en-
livened the sisters with reminis
cences of the war, and warmly con-
graduated the ladies on their organiza-
ton. The Circle then adjourned to
meet on Wednesday evening, July 9th,
when it is hoped that the membership
of the society will be still further
augmented. RoB.

A Handsome Pension.

Mrs. Temperance Frisby, of Spring
town, Greenwich township, lost a son
Thomas d. Frisby, at Chapman's farm,
Virginia, during the war for the Union.
He was private in Co. B, s2d Regiment,
United States Colored Troops. Since
his death Mrs. Frisby has tried repeat
edly to obtain pension, only to meet
with failure. But, after long years of
waiting she received the welcome in
telligence Saturday that her claim had
been allowed by the Pension Depart
ment, and that Certificate No. 234, ,773
had been issued, payable by the Pen
sion Agent in Phila. She will receive
under this certificate $500 month
from March %, 1864, 81, in all, and
$1,000 per month from March %, 1886,
and from thence the balance of her
life. This is big boon for the old
lady, she being very poor, and well
advanced in life. having attained the
age of eighty years.

Concerning Springtown.

AS nothing in the Greenwich CORE
spondence is ever said of the people
of Springtown except to chronicle
some disturbance occurring or to de
scribe some disrespectable character
living in or near the place, l beg leave
to say that, although it bears an unen-
viable reputation, there are some re-
spectacle, honest and hard working
Christian people living in the place,
and not all are toughs as some would
represent them. 1 have occasion to
pass through the settlement quite
often and am pleased to mark the ad-
vancement made in the tilling of the
land and neat appearance of the
churches, and also the neat manner of
dress in which the people appear when
going to and from church on the Sab
bath. All this tends to show that the
people are trying to be respectable.
But there is a place not far distant from
Springtown where cider is sold, and
where crowds assemble and make the
place nuisance to the community,
which is great drawback to the
village. If this source of disturbance
was removed, Springtown would not
be so well represented at Bridgeton
whenever court convenes. The law
and order committee would do a good
thing by investigating the matter. lam
told that persons have been insulted
while passing, and even carriages
stopped and the occupants find it diff
cult to pass. Now something ought
to be done. OBSERVER.

GEN. MCCLELLAN CAMP.
A New Camp Of the Sons of
Veterans Organized.

A charter was granted the sons OF
the veterans of the late war, who de-
sired to organize a new Camp of that
Order in this city. The Camp is COM
posed of a numbers of members for
merIy with the Phil. Kearney Camp,
who becoming dissatisfied, had with
drawn and with others whose fathers
fought in the late civil war, ap-
piled for the charter to organize a
separate Camp.
About two weeks ago Col. Jeffreys, of
Camden, came down and investigated
the facts, and was not long in making
up his mind to grant the new charter
and last night week was the time set
for the organization of the new Camp.
The meeting had been called to meet
in the third story hall over the
store of Reeve & Fithian, and Col.
Jeffreys with his staff, composed of
Frank Duffield, Adjutant, of Wood
bury; Lionel Bergman, Inspector, of
Gloucester City; William E. Brown,
Chaplain, of Camden, and H. l..
Douglass, mastering officer, of Tren-
ton were present. The mastering in
ceremonies were performed by officer
Douglass.
The election of officers then took
place, and the following were chosen:
Captain, Theo. r. Lore; First Lieu
tenant, David Appelgate; Second Lieu
tenant, John G.. Robinson; Camp
Council, J. G. Shinn, H. H. Mayhem,
Thos. Sloan. The staff of the Captain
was then announced as follows: Chap
lain. Vim. N. McDowell First Ser
geant, J. G. Shinn; Quartermaster,
Milford Appelgate; Sergeant of Guard,
David L. Ayars; Color Sergeant, Ira
James; Musician, B. Frank Jones;
Corporal of Guard, Martin Penn;
Camp Guard, William Sloan; Picket
Guard, George Shuster.
The Camp selected as it's name, Geo.
B. Mcclellan, No. Is.
Inspector Lionel Berry, of Glouces-
ter, gave very pleasant talk to the
members of the camp. He said that
this was the largest number of Sons OF
Veterans that he had ever seen mus
tered in at any organization of camp
anywhere in the State. The members,
too, were of superior class.
Col. Jeffreys in his remarks said that
he hoped the fact of there being two
camps in this city would not in any
way antagonize the members, but
that each would be friendly to the
other.
There are in this country 10000 Sons
of Veterans, and the Order is growing
rapidly. The Mcclellan Camp starts
off under very favorable auspices, and
will undoubtedly grow and become
strong organization. The members
are all gentlemen, and to this one fact
much of their success will be due.

Time-2.44a, 2.47, 2.4s, 2.52, $50.
The races were not finished until
about seven o'clock, and the interest
was great enough to keep large por-
tion of the audience upon the stand.
The races went off we'll enough, but
the general opinion was that the
drivers were too slow in coming out
with their horses to go in heat, the
waits being very tedious. There
were no disturbances of any kind, and
everything passed off in most pleas
ant manner. Unfortunately there
were not enough people on the grounds
to pay all of the large expenses that
were incurred, and Tuft & Fox will
lose some money by their enterprise in
giving the people of Bridgeton the
best races they ever had the privilege
of attending in this city.
